In another embodiment, the slider is integrally formed with the connecting segment 103, and the slider is a magnetic body having the same magnetic property as the magnet 105, and can produce the same effect as the hall element 106.

In this embodiment, the connecting section 103 and the operating section 104 are disposed at a crossed angle. The operating handle 102 includes a connecting section 103 movably inserted into the receiving cavity of the base 101 and an operating section 104 exposed outside the base 101 for holding. The connecting section 103 and the operating section 104 are integrally formed, the inclined angles of the connecting section 103 and the operating section 104 are different, and a cross included angle exists between the connecting section 103 and the operating section 104. The connecting section 103 is used for being fixedly installed in the seat body 101, and the installation plane of the combined switch 100 with the gear shifting function disclosed by the invention is opposite to the driver. Since the operation segment 104 is a portion that the driver needs to operate by hand, the operation segment 104 needs to be installed in accordance with the operation habit of the driver, and is easy to operate. The optimal operation mode is to pull the operation section 104 up and down, so as to drive the connection section 103 arranged on the steering wheel plane to rotate up and down. Therefore, the optimal arrangement in this embodiment is that the operation section 104 protrudes with respect to the driver's direction, which is more favorable for the driver to hold the operation section 104.

The abutment surface is provided to extend obliquely in a downward direction so as to gradually approach the top pillar 107. It is to be understood that the arrangement of the abutment surfaces may be either one of them or both of them. In the present embodiment, the most preferable arrangement is such that the abutment surface is provided in an inclined extension gradually approaching the top pillar 107 in the upward direction. The linkage segment 103 is equipped with the mounting hole, the inside spring that is equipped with of mounting hole, the mobilizable interpolation of fore-set 107 is arranged in the mounting hole and with the spring in the mounting hole is connected, fore-set 107 can follow telescopic motion is to the mounting hole axial.

Further, in the present embodiment, the abutment surface includes a plurality of abutment regions that are adjacent in the up-down direction; the respective inclination angle of a plurality of butt areas is upwards and is the setting that diminishes. The abutting surface comprises a plurality of abutting areas which are adjacent along the vertical direction; the respective inclination angles of the plurality of abutment regions are set to be gradually smaller downward. It is understood that the inclination angles may be alternatively or simultaneously provided, and in this embodiment, it is preferable that the plurality of abutment regions have inclined surfaces with inclination angles gradually decreasing upward. The top post 107 is kept in contact with the abutment surface all the time so as to be automatically reset during the pulling of the top post 107 with the connecting section 103. When the operation section 104 is not pulled, the contact position of the top post 107 and the guide block is the initial position, and the top post 107 is in the complete extension state. When the operating section 104 is pulled up by half, the top post 107 comes into contact with the first inclined surface, the top post 107 is pressed to axially contract along the mounting hole, and the first inclined surface gives a restoring force to the top post 107 to be restored to the initial position. When the operating section 104 is pulled up to the bottom, the top pillar 107 contacts the second inclined surface, the top pillar 107 is pressed to axially contract along the mounting hole, and the second inclined surface gives a restoring force for restoring the top pillar 107 to the initial position. When the operating section 104 is pulled down by half, the top post 107 comes into contact with the third inclined surface, the top post 107 is pressed to axially contract along the mounting hole, and the third inclined surface gives a returning force to the top post 107 to return to the initial position. When the operation section 104 is pulled down to the bottom, the top pillar 107 contacts the fourth inclined surface, the top pillar 107 is pressed to axially contract along the mounting hole, and the fourth inclined surface gives a reset force for resetting the top pillar 107 to the initial position.

The contact surface between the top post 107 and the contact surface may have various shapes, and may be an arc spherical surface or a needle-shaped tip. In this embodiment, it is preferable that an end surface of the top post 107 that contacts the contact surface is formed in an arc shape. The end face is formed in a circular arc shape to reduce sliding friction, which facilitates the switching of the jack post 107 on inclined faces of different inclination angles.
